To Whom It May Concern:

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:

1) All communication between your agency and the CIA's Political Islam Strategic Analysis Program (PISAP) which operates under the CIA's Directorate of Intelligence (DI) including communication with any PISAP employee.
2) All Memorandum of Understanding between your agency and PISAP.
3) All records maintained by your agency that details how, when or why you would provide intelligence to PISAP.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.
